Good afternoon to everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED, THROUGH NO EFFORTS OF YOUR OWN!!!
We all know about David in the Bible. A lot goes on in the books of Samuel. However, I just wanted to mention 1 little item that relates to GRACE.
David was hated by Saul, but loved by Saul's son Jonathan. David and Jonathan made a pact or covenant to take care of each other and their families.
Well, Saul and Jonathan were killed in a battle. Jonathan had a son, Mephiboseth, who was crippled.
Once Saul and Jonathan were both killed David became King of Israel. Then King David asked if any of Saul's family was still living. Now you have to understand that in these ancient times when a new king came in he usually ordered all rivals and family of the old king to be killed.
When David found out about Mephiboseth he had him brought to him. Mephiboseth lived in hiding, fear of what may happen..
Because of the covenant David had with Jonathan (Saul's son) he told Mephiboseth that he would be eating from King David's table and all of Saul's families land would be given back to him.
Instead of death, GRACE was given. God sent his son, Jesus, who died for our sins, and through GRACE we are saved and given eternal life.
GRACE is a gift that is unearned, freely given, and a present to all of us IF we choose to accept it. So, what are you going to do with this present? We should be sharing it with the whole world and telling people the good news.
Can we be like Jesus? The more we study, the more we share, the closer we come to being like Jesus. Just spread the word. Thanks for reading with me today. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
